Many TV shows and movies feature small towns because of their charm. It's a place where everyone looks out for each other. Neighbors say hello and borrow sugar from each other. Small towns gather together to celebrate big events and host cook-offs and other events. We all want a place like that, where we matter and where we can count on others. This is why so many romance authors set their stories in small towns. Author Libby Kay has created a wonderful small town for her Buckeye Falls series. With her latest release, FALLING AGAIN, readers can return to Buckeye Falls and see what her other characters have been up to, while they cheer on the Mayor and his wife's rekindled romance. Blurb: Welcome back to Buckeye Falls, Ohio! Does this small town mayor have the political savvy to negotiate his way back into his wife’s heart? From the outside, Mayor Anthony Snyder and his wife Natalie have it all. Adorable children, a lovely home, and a never-ending supply of free food from the local diner. But behind closed doors, this duo struggles to stay connected. The sparkle they show Buckeye Falls has turned a little dull on the home front. Over the last decade, things became hectic in the Snyder household. Anthony was elected to office, following in his father’s footsteps. Unfortunately, he’s reminded regularly that these are big shoes to fill. Being the best mayor takes a lot of time—time he’s not spending with his family. Natalie prides herself on being everything to everyone, but the job of a wife hasn’t been smooth sailing. Wrapped up in her own growing business and their kids’ activities, her time with Anthony has dwindled faster than her secret stash of Halloween candy. Natalie longs for quality time with the man she loves, but it never seems to be in the cards. A chance to visit their family lake house promises a week away from it all, but can these two reconnect when there’s no distractions? Or is it time for these high achievers to admit that love might be the one thing they can’t master? With a little help from the residents of Buckeye Falls, this power couple will find their way back to happily ever after. Falling Again is the third book in the Buckeye Falls series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone read. Featuring similar marriage conflicts as in Lyssa Kay Adams’ The Bromance Book Club and the small-town romance of Susan Mallery’s Fool’s Gold series, fans will love this second chance love story. After all, who doesn’t deserve to fall in love again? EXCERPT: Anthony quotes: Natalie was everything he wanted, and needed, in a wife. It ate away at him that he’d been ignoring her and their marriage. Standing there in the kitchen, with his wife’s disappointed expression and his sister’s exacerbated one, Anthony vowed he would fix this. He’d be a better brother to Alice, and he’d be the best husband possible for Natalie. Frankly, Anthony decided he was just going to be better. It was time to step up his game. * Anthony knew they had a long way to go, but watching his wife stand there in front of him wearing a swimsuit that did nothing to hide her assets, he savored the connection between them. They were talking again; more importantly, they were laughing again. This was his second chance, and he’d be damned if he didn’t take it. * Anthony hadn’t felt this buoyant, this damn-near jubilant, in years. Yes, there were milestones in life that he cherished—like the birth of the kids and their wedding day—but this moment was fighting for its spot at the top. Laying in the bedroom of the lake house—naked, panting, and grinning like a goofball—Anthony knew he’d never grow tired of Natalie. Making her a priority seemed like a no-brainer, and he chastised himself again for letting things slide back home. * “I wasn’t going to go here with you,” Trudy started carefully, “but it seems you’ve left me no choice.” Anthony raised an eyebrow. “Why do I have a feeling I won’t like anything you’re about to say?” He asked, what little lunch he ate turning to cement in his stomach. Was it poor form to puke all over his desk in front of his assistant? “I have a feeling you’ll hate it, but here we are.” Trudy stretched out her arms and shrugged. “And let the record show, I hated having this conversation with your father too.” “Oh, Jesus,” Anthony groaned. Trudy smacked his hand. “And don’t bring the good Lord into this. It’s not his fault that Snyder men are clueless about their wives.” available in paperback and ebook: |
